What I like about tech culture or marketing is that it tends to be more relaxed. At least in my experience, I ve always had a very open and friendly relationship with CEOs.

But the bigger the company, the more distant the CEO tends to be from the team members.

(For example, it s much easier to remember everyone s name in a flat structure with 14 people than in a large corporation where a manager manages a manager who manages someone else and has dozens of people under them. You get me.)

I'll go first. A large HR platform sent out an automated AI-written email offering condolences on a prospect's coworker's death, and then tried to hook them into a demo.

With so many AI tools popping up every week, I m curious:

Which ones have actually stuck around in your workflow?

• Are you using anything for image/video generation?

• Got an underrated writing or code assistant?

• Something that helps automate tedious stuff?

Would love to hear what s been useful (or surprising)!
